In his career, how many serious injuries has Ovie had?
It blows that he got hurt during such a great stretch and while being so close to the record, but maybe that's where his age comes in.
McDavid was supposed to be out for a while and only missed three games (obviously he's a lot younger and in his prime). Hopefully Ovechkin won't be out too long. I want the record to be broken this year.

Per radio interview with Capitals coach this morning: "This is not something where his season is ending. He's week-to-week."

He's not unique in this regard but I'm pretty sure he's played through some things over the years.
One can't help to speculate if this injury could've been avoided if Ovechkin would take his physical fitness seriously. I mean look at that gut and those twigs that Ovechkin calls legs. Imagine if he hit the gym on a regular basis. Martin St Louis had legs like these when he was Ovechkin's age:
A injury like this wouldn't be so serious if Ovechkin had legs like that...
According to Norwegian radio, Ovie will return in early January 2068. He will be placed in his favorite spot for his one timers in a wheelchair , to make sure he takes the record and play 60 min every game.
